Among the *Purāṇas* only the *Matsya* refers to the subject, wherein as well as in the *Bṛihat-saṁhitā* the five orders are called Ruchaka, Vajra, Dvivajra, Praliṇaka, and Vṛitta. Of the *Āgamas*, the *Suprabhedāgama* contains the essential details, according to which the five orders are Śrīkara, Chandrakānta, Saumukhya, Priyadarśana, and Śubhaṅkarī; the last is stated to be the Indian Composite order, being a compound of Saumukhya and Priyadarśana, just as the Græco-Roman composite order is a compound of Corinthian and Ionic.
